Why each option
This question identifies the biometric technology capable of automatically unlocking a computer upon an authorized user's arrival and locking it upon their departure, without requiring any manual user action.
Facial recognition technology uses cameras to continuously monitor the user's presence. When an authorized user's face is detected in front of the computer, the system can automatically unlock, and conversely, it can automatically lock the system when the authorized face is no longer detected, requiring no explicit action from the user.
A fingerprint scanner requires a user to actively place their finger on the sensor, which constitutes a user action and does not enable passive automatic locking or unlocking.
A motion detector can sense general movement but cannot identify a specific authorized user, thus it cannot provide secure, personalized automatic unlocking or locking.
Smart cards require a user to physically insert or tap the card into a reader, which is an explicit user action and not an automatic, passive process.
